We've always liked doing new things and meeting new people. innocent was created just over ten years ago in exactly this way. Rich Jon and Adam decided to buy £500 of fruit and make it into smoothies to sell at a little festival in London called Jazz On The Green. They tried out their new smoothies with an ingenious new voting devise called the yes no bins and met lots of new people who said they liked their smoothies.

A few years later we came up with another new idea to return to our festival roots and put on a great get together in a big London park. We called it fruitstock and we held it each year for four years. Then we wanted to try something new again (you might be picking up a running theme here?) so we came up with the innocent village fete which we held last year and the year before in the same big London park.

This year our village fete is having a year off. We're working on something new and exciting for next year right now though. So we'd love to hear what you'd really like to see us do next? A traveling dog show? A touring swimming pool? The same village fete but in your back garden? Come 'tup North for once? Lots of small festivals instead of one big one? Something you can get involved with at your computer instead of 100 miles away?

Please let us know all your best (or worst) new ideas by leaving a comment on this blog post.

You might remember a while a go we asked everyone who came along to our village fete to upload their photos to our fete flickr group and FaceBook group. And that we'd give prizes to the best photos. Well the time has come for you to help us judge the shortlisted photos.

There are three categories, twelve photos, and everything to play for. Help to make someone's year by voting here before Sunday night (Sept 21 2008).

It's been a good few weeks since our village fete in Regent's Park so we thought we'd share some stuff we've uploaded, and you've uploaded, to the web since then (because 'tinternet was made for sharing).

First up our little film of the highlights from the weekend that bring it all back again...

We had a fantastic weekend at the fete. We hope you did too, even though there were some slightly damp moments. Post your own photos on the fete flickr group when you have a moment - here are some of our favourites so far...

Online ticket sales are now closed but you can still buy tickets at the box office in the park on both days from 10am. On-the-gate tickets are £10 for adults and £5 for children. Once they’re gone, they’re gone though, so make sure you get there bright and early. Click here to see the box office location.

If you're planning on riding a bike down to the fete this weekend please pull up in our special bike parking area in the top corner of the park by the Penguin bit of the zoo.

You can give your special nod to other bike riders as you lock up, your bike will be safe and there will even be a free Dr Bike to check over your bike whilst you are off enjoying the fete (provided by the nice people at Transport for London to encourage active travel to our fete).
